It is a bitter moment for the 28-year-old, who sustained the injury on his throwing arm during his best performance for Cleveland since joining them in a trade back in 2022.
The quarterback will undergo a surgery to repair the fracture on the right shoulder, which occurred during the 33-31 win over Baltimore. An MRI test revealed that there is a fracture on the glenoid.
“We are very disappointed and devastated for Deshaun, especially given all that he has battled and gone through medically this season,” general manager Andrew Berry said. “We look at this as an incredible challenge and opportunity for our organization.”
The new is a huge blow for the franchise, which once again remains without a quarterback.
